WordPress Tutorial – How to Change Install & Activate a New Theme

More free tutorials at mcbuzz.wordpress.com This WordPress Tutorial uses WordPress version 2.8.4 hosted on a third-party web host. The technique to change a theme is the same on sites hosted on WordPress.com. Third-party-hosted WordPress sites (also called "self-hosted" or "full version" or "WordPress.org version" WordPress sites) allow you to upload themes that you buy or find online, either through the WordPress Dashboard or using a search for "free wordpress themes" on Google or one of the other search engines. This tutorial shows how to delete a theme using Appearance – Manage Themes in the WordPress Dashboard. It shows how to find new free themes using Appearance – Install Themes in the WordPress Dashboard. And shows how to upload a theme from your computer. It shows how to activate a new theme once you find it or upload it. WordPress themes come in the form of a .zip file. You can buy "Premium Themes" and you can find thousands of free themes using the Dashboard or by searching for "free wordpress themes" on the Web.

Guys, there﻿ really isn’t any ‘Add New Theme’ button anymore. You just go to the Appearance section, click THEME, then you’re gonna see a little search box on top of a couple of themes. And beside the search box is something that says FEATURE FILTERS. So you click that and viola.

You’ll note that this is an old tutorial. In general, YouTube comment features are crap, so I don’t do a good job of﻿ monitoring. Google ‘Business Blogging 101’ and you will find the McBuzz tutorials website.
